Myanmar elections in November will be under scanner, could signal evolution of polity

Firstpost  

Myanmar will be under the scanner of the international community — particularly India — in around two months when it goes to the polls in November Myanmar will be under the scanner of the international community — particularly India — in around two months when it goes to the polls in November. The recent voting down of constitutional amendments in Parliament — almost certainly by the bloc of appointed, non-elected military parliamentarians — to a certain erodes the legitimacy of the electoral process. These events question the sincerity of Myanmar’s transition away from military rule, especially as power is becoming increasingly more diffuse and diversified, with respect to the actors involved. Divisions within the ruling regime, most recently the unexpected removal of Thura Shwe Mann as the head of the USDP, by what appears to be a coordinated move with Thein Sein and the military, present opportunities for Opposition parties to gain further power. But the main priority of many ethnic parties — which are increasingly organising into formalised blocs in an attempt to become legislative power brokers — is the reconfiguration of powers between Central and state governments.
